Bepin Choudhary ' S Lapse Of Memory
Every Monday, on his way back from work, Bepin Choudhary would drop in at kalicharan's in new market to buy books. crime stories, ghost stories and thriller. he had to buy at least five at a time to last him though friends, and didn't like spending time in idle chat. today, at kalicharan's, Bepin babu had the feeling that someone was observing himself looking at a round faced,meek looking man who now broke into a smile.
I don't suppose you recognise me.
Have we met before?" asked Bepin babu. The man looking greatly surprised. We met every day for a whole week. I arranged for a car to take you to the Hudroo fall. In 1958. in Ranchi my name is parimal Ghose. Ranchi?
Now Bepin babu realised that if was not he but this man who was making a mistake. Bepin babu had never been at Ranchi. He had been at the point of going several times, but never made it. he smiled and said, Do you know who i am?
The man raised his eyebrows, bit his tongue and said, Do I know you? who doesn't know. Bepin Choudhary?
Bepin babu now turned towards the bookshelves and said, Still you're making a mistake. one often does I've never been at Ranchi.
The man now aloud
What are you saying, Mr Choudhury? You had a fall in Hudroo and cut your right knee. I brought you lodine. I had fixed up a car for you to go to Netarhat the next day, but you couldn't because of the pain in the knee. Can't you recall anything? Someone else you know was also in Ranchi at that time. Mr Dinesh Mukerji. You stayed in a bungalow. You said you didn't like hotel food and would prefer to have your meals cooked by a bawarachi. Mr Mukerji stayed with his sister. You had a big argument about the moon landing, remember? I'll tell you more: you always carried a bag with your books in it on your sight-seeing trips. Am I right or not?
Bepin Babu spoke quietly, his eyes still on the books. "Which month in '58 are you talking about?
The man said, "October."
"No, sir," said Bepin Babu. "I spent Puja in '58 with a friend in Kanpur. You're making a mistake. Good day." But the man didn't go, nor did he stop talking. "Very strange. One evening I had tea with you in a veranda of your bungalow. You spoke about your family You said you had no children, and that you had lost your wife ten years ago. Your only brother had died insane, which is why you didn't want to visit the mental hospital in Ranchi..." When Bepin Babu had paid for the books and was leaving the shop. the man was still looking at him in utter disbelief.
